Nature Bio Comms Paper using WebPPL

[Johannes Borgström]

We used WebPPL to describe various birth-death models in statistical phylogenetics in a 2021 Nature Communications Biology paper: Universal probabilistic programming offers a powerful approach to statistical phylogenetics

 https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-021-01753-7

The language was fast enough for small inputs, and easy to use by (and for communication with) our collaborators (computational biologists).

Thanks!
